“In the poem, Rumi banters with God over life's usual philosophical questions: what to do with that pesky thing called a heart, where to focus one's eyes, etcetera, etcetera. But when Rumi asks God what to do with his pain and sorrow, God tells him, "Stay with it. The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” InspirationalPhilosophyLightPainHurtSadnessSorrowRumi Book:I Hope You Get This Message Source: I Hope You Get This Message
“Mari— Interglactic beings have watched Earth envelop itself in darkness for millennia. But in every shroud of darkness, there are small beings such as yourself who, when dealt a cruel hand by fate, still carry the strength to smile. Your smile breaks through the dark. Your pain is where the light enters you. And your kindness is a guiding light for others. And that holds a power that even we fear. Small being, no matter what happens, never let that power go.” ChildrenLightPainHopeKindnessDarknessPowerStrengthSmileChild Book:I Hope You Get This Message Source: I Hope You Get This Message
